Wu-Tang Forever Tracklist
Wu-Tang Forever is the second studio album of American hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan, released June 3, 1997 on Loud/RCA Records in the United States. Pressed as a double album, it was released after a long run of successful solo projects from various members of the group, and serves as the follow-up to their debut album Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers). Forever features several guest appearances from Wu-Tang affiliates Cappadonna, Streetlife, 4th Disciple, True Master, and Tekitha, as well as an extensive embodiment of lesser-known members of the group (U-God, Masta Killa and Inspectah Deck).
The first single released for the album, “Triumph” was great but an unusual single choice, as it ran nearly six minutes in length with 9 verses and no chorus. All the long string of solo albums paid off in a dedicated fan-base and powerful reputation, as the album debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, selling over 612,000 in its first week. It has been certified 4x Platinum and stands as the group’s best selling album to date.
